Healing the root chakra includes grounding techniques, such as walking barefoot on the dirt, meditating with red stones like garnet or red jasper, and concentrating on affirmations that support safety and stability. Above the root chakra is the Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana), positioned directly below the navel. It is symbolized by the color orange and controls creativity, sexuality, and emotional flow. This chakra is associated with the water element, indicating flexibility and emotional depth. When balanced, you feel creative, enthusiastic, and emotionally expressive. When obstructed, it may create emotional numbness, creative stagnation, or intimacy troubles. Healing the sacral chakra entails participating in creative expression, dancing, working with orange-colored stones like carnelian, and embracing sexuality and pleasure in healthy ways.

The Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) rests above the navel, emitting a brilliant yellow light. It indicates personal strength, confidence, and willpower. Linked to the fire element, it feeds our feeling of self-worth and power to materialize our aspirations. When balanced, you feel powerful, determined, and driven. When obstructed, it might result in poor self-esteem, indecision, and a lack of drive. Healing this chakra involves working with yellow stones like citrine, doing core-strengthening yoga postures, and employing mantras that reaffirm self-worth and personal strength. The Heart Chakra (Anahata), situated in the heart of the chest, is the bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. It is symbolized by the color green and regulates love, compassion, and emotional harmony. Connected to the air element, the heart chakra helps us to give and receive love freely.
